Structure field list including key, data, relationships and ABAP select examples

CFDM6 is a standard SAP Structure so does not store data like a database table does. It can be used to define the fields of other actual tables or to process "Data mining methods" Information within sap ABAP programs.

This is done by declaring abap internal tables, work areas or database tables based on this Structure. These can then be used to store and process the required data appropriately.

i.e. DATA: wa_CFDM6 TYPE CFDM6.

The CFDM6 table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Data mining methods data available in SAP. These include METH_TEXT (Description of data mining method), MAX_AUFSP (Maximum Number of Drilldowns), DIST_OBJ (Max. interval between adjacent objects in data mining), DIST_DIM (Max. Dispersion to Next Drilldown Dimension).. See below for full list along with technical details, documentation, text table, check tables, foreign key relationships, conversion routines, relevant tcodes and example ABAP select code etc. .
